From the Publisher

First edition users of this top-selling text praise the everyday applications, the extensive worked examples (more than two-hundred and seventy), and the clear, conversational writing style that virtually eliminates the frustrations and confusions most students experience in reading their first chemistry textbook. This edition features four-color art throughout, plus new practice examples following all worked examples, and updated applications relating chemistry to our lives and the environment. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great price, January 21, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fundamentals of Chemistry (4th Edition) (Paperback)
I was pleased to find this book for only about $20 when the college bookstore wanted over $100 for it used. I got it pretty quickly, packaged very carefully, and in near perfect condition (just a few pencil writing on the pages). I would definitely buy from this seller again (allproductsguaranteed)!
